Episode 078 - Goodbye 2016

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, Justin had a really full plate and couldn't make it on to record our final episode of 2016, so very good friend of the show Dan Brenic from the Netflix n' Swill podcast joins me to talk about a whole lot of... random nonsense!

The show begins on a bit of a somber note, as earlier the afternoon of recording day we learned that Carrie Fisher, legendary for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars saga, passed away at the age of 60. We've got some brief thoughts about her and the future of the saga without her, but we're going to be revisiting her next week with a full retrospective and possibly commentary of A New Hope.

After that the rails come completely off the show, as I managed to salvage about 25 minutes of useable audio from nearly an hour of recording, some of which you can hear if you're a sponsor of the Epic Film Guys podcast. We'll talk about changes coming to the Epic Film Guys, what 2017 holds in store for us, and we've also got the final clip from this month's featured actor, Robin Williams. Thank you very much for listening everyone! Have a very happy New Year, and we'll see you at the movies.
